In addition to my everyday children’s librarian duties—collection development, readers’ advisory, reference, and preschool story times—I teach STEM classes at the library.In 2014, I applied for and received an LSTA "Science is Everywhere" federal grant. Funds were used for the purchase of LEGO Education sets to teach science workshops.Workshops currently being conducted for 2nd-6th graders include: 1) WeDo engineering and beginning programming for 2nd and 3rd graders. Using LEGO Education kits and laptop computers, students are introduced to basic STEM concepts, such as simple machines, gearing, electromagnetism, programming logic, and the application of these concepts in real-world analogs. An introduction to scientists such as Isaac Newton and Michael Faraday is included. 2) LEGO EV3 competitions for 4th-6th graders— advanced computer programming concepts used in designing autonomous robots. Students build robots to compete in battlebots and line-following tournaments. 3) Developed and taught other non-LEGO STEM programs, including stop-motion animation zoetropes and pneumatic JudoBots.Presenter at Mass STEM Summit for "STEM in Libraries," November 2015.Designed and built electronic games to be used in the Summer Reading program. These were built on different computer platforms, including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and PC. The latest game is online and playable at http://pixelquarium.com/librarywebgame/.Responsible for the design of all promotional materials for Youth Services programs.Each month, I design and build an animatronic for the Youth Services book display theme.As a librarian intern at the Library of the Chathams in NJ, I conducted a video-making workshop for 3rd-6th graders. Our video version of Rebecca Stead's "When You Reach Me" was featured in the national 90 Second Newbery Film Festival.The 90 second version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inENLVjMZxgThe 12 minute version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_TU6N88y5o
